FORT WORTH, Texas, Aug. 6 (UPI) -- Texas Christian assistant basketball coach Jai Steadman has resigned.
The move came amid a report of violations, including impermissible transportation and academic assistance.
An internal investigation revealed that Steadman provided transportation that helped a prospective student-athlete "solve an F1 international student visa problem," and assisted an enrolled student-athlete with a paper.
Steadman was the restricted earnings coach for the men's team.
"Basketball, like all other TCU sports, abides by the rules and is a program of integrity," said Coach Neil Dougherty. "It is extremely regrettable that this coach erred in judgment to the extent that he broke NCAA and institutional rules."
According to Dougherty, the school's "internal checks and balances caught the problem early enough to self-report and resolve the issues."
In addition, TCU suspended the prospective student-athlete for 20 percent of the 2003-04 schedule and required him to reimburse the estimated value of the transportation, or $386.64.
The student-athlete whose paper was changed will not be sanctioned.
